Please do Taison. It's pretty weak to personally attack a guy when he is out to surgery. It was four days ago and I come back to this douchebag talking trash about me and I get this via pm from him.

Quote:Brian you might have been involved in martial arts, but I suspect hard training wasnt your best point.

Your quitting judo at 35 because of an injury. There are guys in their 50's still competing with a list of injuries behind them.

says alot doesnt it.

This says alot about jude's character or lack there of. Please ask the mods and admin to get rid of this jerk for his offensive behavior.

BTW, I'm still going to train, I'm just going to stay away from judo. I'll be doing karate and whatever school I can find to visit. There is a nice mma gym near here I could train at,but it's going to be a while before I get to do anything.

Thanks to you guys for having my back while I was out.

You're not alone, he sent me a similar angry PM, something about my Karate being so un-Okinawan and me not being big and buff like him....lol.

IMO the dude is way out of line and has gone well beyond the usual good-natured sniping that goes on, and into the territory of simply harassing folks.

Not trying to tell you guys how yo your jobs as mods, but Jude33 has been out of hand for quite some time now, and I would hope that a PM harassing someone who is injured in that way counts as some kind of actionable offense on here, especially when it's fairly clear that his opinion on things is NOT being solicited by the people he's pm'ing.

As for Okinawan, my karate has more roots from Japan and Europe (odd?) than Okinawa. I'd probably be a heretik if I showed off my karate during it's earlier stages some fifty years ago back there.

Brian,From my view point;Just because you quit something doesn't mean you're giving up. I have tried CMA and for the very life of me, nothing bores me than doing kata kata and all that internal chi stuff. True it MAY be effective in prolonging my life, but my goal in MA is to shorten someone else's not extend my own. CMA like wing chun for example is called 'king of fist' techniques but I have more use for Boxing because it is trained alive and it is much much simpler and direct. Slapping away hands 5 times in a row is a waste of motion and energy, I'd rather go for the clinch.

Brian, if you do set up an informal training group, give me a few hints would ya? I'm stuck in the same position like you right now, nowhere to train. No 'Krotty' and no 'Judeau'

-Taison out

It's a pretty simple plan Taison,but it can be difficult to get others to play along. Just talk to people you think might be interested and sort out a time and what you guys are going to do.

As for quitting judo I thought about it quite a bit. On one hand I have been doing judo for a relatively short time and would like to continue. However, there are others to consider here, my family and kids. It's puts people out having to take me to therapy and being unable to take care of my kids alone. Also, it has been a financial blow. I'm only receiving 60% of my wages while off work. I realize that martial arts has inherent risks associated with it,but I have to weigh those risks against what is best for my family. Continuing judo is not best for my family imo. I will be going to karate as often as possible and go from there.

Thanks to everyone for the nice pm's and support.

jude, go rob a house in Texas.
